i was wondering what courses if any that you fine upstanding gentlemen of the corps have found of any use.

obviously i have all my electrical qualifications (and then some extra ones), hold all my driving licences less PCV (coach) but i am working on that as we speak, have health & safety qualifications also (nebosh, etc).

edging toward doing a plastering course at the minute, just to aid in the refurb of any future house projects etc.

any constructive ideas accepted.

any sh1te ideas will also be accepted, what goes around comes around, eh

Your up early! If you can finish off jobs (decorating/plastering) it saves people getting in another tradesman and gets you extra beer tokens. Are there any specific H+S quals you need for working on Building Sites?

Get some plant quals , only light stuff dumper roller fork lift etc , always a fall back and not bad pay on most sites , but from my experience on building sites most sparks earn about £150 a day on the books more on cis.... good luck mate ..its shite in civvy strasse .

any sites that are worth posting your CV on, for future reference would also help.

There is monster.co.uk , but if you are after the high money contracts, try looking for an agency near where you are going to settle. One job always leads to another in contract work. No stability, but good money, especialy with the Olympics coming up! Thought about that myself for the IT side of life. Get to some of these job fairs that are on offer, as there are always Civvy companies looking to get ex-servicemen in. I have had a job offer just off the back of giving a bloke my CV in passing.
I am done this year, and have used the ressetlement to my advantage, pop up to IS and have a chat if you want.
What date have you got?
